Abstract
A triple epicyclic differential transmission for converting three parallel inputs to three orthogonal outputs. The triple epicyclic differential transmission includes three input shaft/pinion assemblies and a ring gear assembly which includes three ring gear pairs--each pair driven by an input shaft/pinion assembly in an epicyclic manner. An outer structure assembly is rotatably mounted to the ring gear assembly and an idle pulley assembly is pivotably mounted to the outer structure assembly. An output pulley assembly is rotatably mounted to the idle pulley assembly and driven by the ring gear assembly via the idle pulley assembly.
